Ah yes, more new sets. Really need to get the older ones before they start to become harder to get too. But I do love the look of these new Luigis Mansion sets. At least they are not all of the £50+ price range.

This was the digger I had, actually still have, It's built up somewhere.

I can't help with that. I haven't bought a Technic set in forever. I only have two, one is a yellow JCB digger with pneumatic pumps that operate the rear digger and the other is a really old car that has gear that change, two seats and a moving engine. This set here (8860) This was when we didn't have separate bags and the steps didn't tell you what pieces were used in that step, you had to figure it all out from the image.

Great end of the year session there and great to see a couple extras join in. Have to say player of the night was easily @Ugh first aid for her exemplary prediction game. Also my Para game is still on point and Bowser has the best dropkick going in the game. Thanks to everyone that has played this year, be it weekly or joining for the one off new fighter nights. I hope we can get just as many fun nights going next year. It's always a laugh when voice chat is enabled and people do the stupidest things.

I didn't find them too bad but did get that a few times yes. Would be clinging to the ceiling in stealth mode and one would walk under me, turn around or somehow climb up to me then I'd be detected. Pain but wasn't too bad once you got to know their routes and could just bypass them.

and that ladies and gentlemen is how to solve an issue 😆 Well lets go for tomorrow as a year end Smash night just incase anyone is busy New Years Day

@Glen-i and @Ike What's the ideal time this week as Saturday is New Years Day, not sure if either of you are busy that day. Thursday again? then back to normal next week?

This reminds me of the Architecture sets, Which in all honesty would make great ideas for both Sonic and any more Mario sets. Those I'd pick up for sure. Never was a big Sonic fan so will probably be passing on this.

She's a keeper that's for sure and not just for the next round of presents. There was one present that wasn't in the photo. She had made me a small present herself. she had got one of those deep frames, put in four Lego minifigs of superheroes and my name in the middle. Its such an amazing present and I love that she did it. @Happenstance if you are not already, let your niece know that that is an amazing piece of art and encourage her to continue drawing. She could easily make something out of her talent.

I got some more Lego Mario sets for Christmas. Got the remaining wave one sets I needed that are retiring soon, so that was Toad's Treasure Hunt, Piranha Plants Puzzling Challenge and Wigglers Poison Swamp. And I also got the Bowser's Airship. It looks awesome and looks like the best one that can be displayed as a standalone and not looking like it needs to be a part of a level.

Got a great haul this year, mainly from the new girlfriend. got the remaining sets from the first wave of Mario Lego, so should have all of them now (lucky as they were retiring soon. And lots of other cool little bits and bobs. Love the jumbo Gizmo Funko Pop.

That's an awesome looking train @Sméagol probably one of the few trains I'd get. Got a couple of small new sets for Christmas and four more of the Mario sets. Minions, Unstoppable Bike Chase, and Captain America Mech Armour. Along with Toads Treasure Hunt, Piranha Plant Puzzling Challenge, Wiggler's Poison Swamp and the new Airship.

Is there ever a night that is not hilarious? Thanks @Glen-i and @Ike for the games. You cannot play as Hero and not just have a Menu Fight, though if Kamikaze comes up then you have to use that, whether you are near someone or not, it's just the law. Thanks for using the Pokemon theme too, makes for some manic and "what just happened" moments.

Merry Christmas to me!! Would you consider raising the item rate to medium? Imagine all the mons in play at once.

We having a pre Christmas smash session? Or are are gonna try a Christmas evening fight? (Since Saturday is now our normal night)

Any smash tonight @Glen-i?

Yeah looks about normal. AC still continues to be my daily game even if that’s only 20 to 30 minutes to do my run around. Those Smash numbers are pretty much what we have spent this year as a NE group playing online. Maybe a couple added for editing videos.

And here’s a short bit of fun from Saturday. These include what @Glen-i called my jammy wins.

Feel the same way and we were saying a lot of similar thing in the discord chat. The whole season will be remembered for the wrong reasons, and that has been the best season for many years. The fact that Mercedes bought a lawyer with them to this event knowing something might happen says a lot. Lewis had the race and the title won and he did that on lap one. Perez did a fine job holding him up at one point and he raced cleanly and fairly to do it. And as soon as Lewis passed him he opened up the gap again. He had it done before that crash be Latifi. What happened after is just a farce. They changed the rules and their mind to manufacture the result they felt would get the most controversy and people talking about it. First the lapped cars where not to over take, then within 30 seconds they were allowed, but only the five between Lewis and Max, and then right after that the race restarted. That was a breach of the rules on two accounts. One being not all lapped cars had passed and two, after lapped cars had passed there needs to be one more lap behind the safety car. This was purely don’t to for that one lap. And by then Max had pitted for new sorts so it was already over for Lewis I felt. Rules are there, but it seems in F1 a lot of the times these rules are never clear enough and end up causing issues like this. One that is always talked about is track limits. Why do some tracks have this not enforced and people are allowed to run wide when other tracks it is, but only maybe on one corner. Come on, the white lines define the track. Stay in it. Obvioulsy Mercedes’ are appealing the decision that was denied after the race and they have that right to do so. Great season which ended on a sour and very controversial 30 seconds.

Hey mine were pure skill.

Fun games as always. Some real close games tonight. And as always lots of silly moments.

Some funnies from last weeks games. Including most of that last match.

This was way too perfect

Anyone still watching? What a crazy race today. Say what you want about the track and racing in Saudi Arabia but that was exciting. After 21races and so much drama it literally comes down to the last races and it’s winner take all. No if one finishes 1st the other has to finish 4th. It’s whoever is in front of the other wins.

I went into “Into the Spiderverse” blind and was thoroughly entertained. Loved the visual style. This is looking more of the same.
